Exclusive: Obama in 2006: I ‘stole’ book title ‘Audacity of Hope’ from Rev. Wright, ‘my pastor’
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/28/11 | Nicholas Ballasy

Posted on 11/28/2011 10:38:34 PM PST by Nachum

Video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller shows Illinois Senator Barack Obama, then campaigning for Democrats before the 2006 midterm elections, praising Reverend Jeremiah Wright and telling an audience that he “stole” the title of his book “The Audacity of Hope” from Wright’s sermon of the same name, which he “loved.” Obama also referred to Wright as “my pastor.”

“I’m not plugging the book, but the title of it, ‘The Audacity of Hope.’ Some people have noticed that I actually used that line in the speech that I gave at the 2004 Democratic Convention,” Obama said on November 4, 2006 in Bristol, Pa., at a rally in support of Patrick Murphy, who went on to serve two terms in Congress. ”But I tell you what: I’m confessing to all of you here today — it’s a big crowd, 2,000 people — I’m confessing in front of the TV cameras: I actually stole this line from my pastor, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.”

Obama owns Rev Wright and Rev Wright owns Obama.

It should have been obvious, and disqualifying, to any voter in 2008. But it was not, because we are nation of sheeple!

America went with the fresh looking face. Few cared about the failed, stale ideas behind that face, and our good buddy John McCain assiduously shined the political spotlight elsewhere.

No. It is because the GOP ran this Progressive hack who refused to make Obummers past an issue.

It wasn't till it was too late that many found out who we have in the WH thanks to that horses @$$.

I do not know if Obumbo wrote a book.
Ayers claimed that he was the author of “Dreams Of My Father”.

I think EVERYTHING about Obumbo is a fraud.

“A fake, fraud and a phony”

Yes. I do believe there exists enough evidence to say the man is exactly as you post, and as he is exactly that just think why he is where he is today. Somebody(s) wanted him there, and duped America into putting him there.

For the purpose I believe of destroying America.

Who exactly are “they”?

I believe the translation for "The Audacity of Hope" from the implied Ebonics is "Tha Uppity-ness of Hubris." I was told this by my second cousin once removed, Mandingo Luthipher Washington. He's a Cape Verdian.

True story...
